---------------------------------------
Summary: EXI output/input should be faster than textual XML
Key: DAFFODIL-2935
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2935
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Back End
Affects Versions: 3.9.0
Reporter: Mike Beckerle
Recent performance work showed that EXI, while creating smaller output sizes,
is not faster.
This seems to have something to do with using the SAX API.
Daffodil *should* be able to pass the same element name objects (exact same
object reference) repeatedly to the start-element and end-element SAX events.
These strings are stored in the element ERD data structure and should not need
to be allocated/constructed or even traversed for each element. (If we're not
storing the exact right string on the ERD, it should be added so it's sitting
there ready to use.)
We also don't know if Exificient library is able to take advantage of the fact
that every start-element and end-element event for the same element should be
passed the exact same object reference for the string identifier(s) of the
element.
